Likewise, if you disconnect the USB for any reason, the laser will stop. If the machine is knocked or moved then the laser automatically cuts out. The first is the Active Position Protection which is activated by a built-in G-Sensor. While the design is simple, and safety might not seem like a major consideration due to the open design, the company has built-in three clever safety features. The big feature of the Ortur Laser Master 2 is the large engraving area at 400mm x 430mm, that's quite impressive for a machine of this price. As the system is designed around open source designs and code, there's a good amount of software that's compatible with it. To control and upload files, the Ortur needs to be plugged into a computer, Mac, PC or Linux running software that's compatible with the system. This control board features the power socket and USB port alongside two buttons that power on or kill the power, and that's it. The design is simplistic you have the mechanical hardware and then the control board. This enables the X and Y-axis movement of the tool head across the work area, all controlled by the computer connected 32-bit mainboard and two stepper motors. It's essentially a square frame of bolted together extruded tube with the laser module mounted on runners on top. You have simple, and then you have the Ortur Laser Master 2. Arriving in a relatively small box with a variety of pre-assembled parts, it takes between 45-60 minutes to build, and there's nothing complex or difficult in the process. The connection is easy enough, and once complete, everything starts to look very promising. One small issue I had, was the laser head stopped working - which was why it was useful buying an additional Head, so it was a simple case of swapping the units around, which I just did at the same time as the latest Firmware update.The Ortur Laser Master 2 is by far the simplest laser cutter we've used.
I must also say that it was Only through some very prompt help and service from Ortur ages ago when I was convinced I had inadvertently messed up my Ortur M2 into the realms of Brickdom:sunglasses:įor about 2 weeks after being convinced I’d tried everything, I asked Ortur and we eventually succeeded in resurrecting my Workhorse.
I tried the new Dynamic Power feature too, and the speed of the fan varies in unison with the chosen output power. I want to give Ortur a Huge thanks for their top level of customer service, just as Lightburn offer. Just done my upgrade by following Orturs instructions to the letter but I made it a bit easier for myself by copying and pasting the relevant files into the Ortur folder that appears, then once shut down properly and rebooted, it worked flawlessly.
